Stela
The future of composites
A true alternative to amalgam
Stela is an easy-to-use bulk fill radiopaque self-cure restorative system, offering an unlimited depth of cure and low-stress polymerisation with a gap-free interface. There is no need to acid etch or light cure.
An innovative high-performance self-cure composite, Stela is the complete end-to-end restorative system that provides you with easier and stronger restorations - ensuring excellent performance every time.
Stela is available in two delivery systems:
- Stela Capsule
- Stela Automix syringe
SPECIAL INTRODUCTION OFFER
Stela is here to revolutionise your practice with a true amalgam alternative that cuts the steps and delivers stronger, more reliable results.Â
Say goodbye to multi-step, time-consuming procedures. Stela’s self-cure composite simplifies your workflow, offering durable, gap-free restorations with less effort.

NEW high-performance composite
Faster, simpler restorations
Stela achieves its ground-breaking properties through a tailored combination of BPA-free resin monomers, optimised ionglass™ fillers (SDI’s bioactive proprietary hybrid glass), and specially surface-modified amorphous silica. Stela’s outstanding mechanical properties come from a rapid curing reaction.
The Stela monomers form polymeric chains and, simultaneously, these chains are rapidly and densely cross-linked to each other, forming a complex web that strongly binds the ionglass™ filler and the amorphous silica, resulting in a strong and resilient restorative material.
The Stela snap set fast cure is due to an innovative hydroperoxide-based initiation system that is free of tertiary amine. This ensures fast-setting characteristics, good colour stability and an excellent conversion rate.
Once cured, Stela’s matrix delivers consistent and reliable strength and durability for all restorations. The simple two step process minimises operator errors and patient sensitivity with no etch or curing lights required. Stela is the solution for all your clinical needs.
The Stela difference
2 dispensing systems, 2 restoration steps
Stela Primer revolutionises the etch, prime and bond system, while delivering a better bond strength. While other etch, prime and bond systems require up to 7 steps and 90-120 seconds to complete, the Stela Primer system is complete in only two steps and 15 seconds.
Fewer steps means fewer opportunities for errors and longer lasting restorations. Reduce your chair-time and eliminate potential technique sensitivity with the simplified Stela technique.
Stela's choice of two dispensing systems:
- Capsule (single dose), for a more viscous paste
- Automix syringe (multiple doses) for extra flow, and bendable tips for accurate placement
Simply apply Stela Primer and then complete your bulk fill restoration with Stela Capsule or Stela Automix syringe - and see it self-cure in just 4 minutes.
